I live in Bradford, West Yorkshire, where there are lots of hills!! Only have a 4 mile commute to work so would love to cycle, it's just the hills that would be a killer for a normal bike.
Can't afford a brand new bike when I don't really know how enjoyable I will find cycling, so looking out for second hand ones - got my eye on the Powabyke X6 in the classifieds but not sure I can justify driving all the way to Norwich for it! Do electric bikes come up for sale much on ebay/on here? Where would be the best place to look for a sub £500 second hand machine?
Also, if anyone has any tips on which bikes would be best for my commute, that would be great. I've been lurking on these forums for a couple of years now and still not got around to buying - I still feel very out of my depth with electric bike talk/specs and any advice would be hugely appeciated.
Thanks for reading.
